lab time

No prizes for guessing where i am right now. yeah, stuck in lab. RDBMS lab. For those of you who don't know what that means, RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management Systems. Now please don't ask me to elaborate, i really don't know,(actually don't bother to know) anything about the subject. It's one of those labs where you mechanically type a lot of things, not really trying to understand what crap you have entered. I'm bugged. I'm very bugged right now. What is the point of having so much to do, and yet sit in a lab(I'm here ONLY for attendance,btw) where you do ABSOLUTELY nothing. Nothing useful at least. For example, this subject might teach me how to enter records into a database, but the lecturer doesn't even know how to correct an entry. i made ONE mistake, and here i am, asked to type the entire thing again. No manual to help, screwed up net connection which is so slow it takes ages to open even the Google homepage, and definitely none to guide me. I'm in a situation where i can only scream 'HELP', though i know there will be no response. "HELP!!"

Pongal hols.

A city? Yes. SASTRA university. The advertisement i i fell for, almost a year and a half back. No regrets about joining the college. I'm unsure about what i want to do, don't know if i like my course, but that's my problem, not that of the college, so no regrets. But, the ad sure did fool me. A city? Puhleeeaase. Technically, a city should be well equipped. The college has given me much more than what my seniors ever dreamed of, so I'm not complaining about the facilities either. But the concept of taking permission to go home? That too, twice a semester, according to the rules of the great college. Excuse me, but i'm not the only one who finds that ridiculous. TWO permissions, that too only on weekends, read the notice put up just before we left for our so called "Pongal holidays". Let me remind you that, by taking one day off, I'm spending nine days at home, which is just 5 days short of what i got as a semester break. And to top it all, saturday's working. surprise! surprise! Yes, our college decides to keep college when they very well know no one is gonna bother attending. Only a couple of people i know changed their plans because of the announcement. That too i'm sure it's only for attendance. WHATEVER!

Here goes my first blog!

Hey everybody, or rather, hi, cuz i don't think many people will bother visiting. This is not the first time i'm starting a blog page. I've had many, many starts, where i'd just come,sign up,post enthusiastically, then forget that the ID exists, and eventually forget the password to my account. Hopefully, this won't be one of those attempts, cuz i think it's high time i start typing something meaningful out here, and make my own little contribution. I don't know what i'll write about, and this being my first attempt, i hope i don't drive away those of you who have decided to take a look. I'll be back with more!
